[Bug 2121406] Re: Print dialog in Gnome Papers takes 30 seconds to appear

 

Here's the status with today's updates:
- The print dialog appears much faster now, but still takes about 5s. With Evince it appears instantly
- Right after boot, it did appear a bit faster (did not time it, but I'd say roughly 2s), but in only showed the Print to file option. After opening a few other documents, it started to show my printer

Below is what appears on syslog. I pressed ctrl+p at
2025-09-08T17:32:14.284881-06:00 and the dialog appeared at
2025-09-08T17:32:19.684685.

Title:
  Print dialog in Gnome Papers takes 30 seconds to appear

Status in papers package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In 25.04 and now in 25.10 beta, the print dialog in Papers takes about 30 seconds to appear after pressing Ctrl+P. During this time, it is also not possible to quit the app: a dialog appears proposing to "Close after printing", "Cancel" or "Abort Print and Close"; choosing "Abort Print and Close" does not close the app.
  On the same machine, the print dialog in Evince works fine, opening the same PDF file. The print dialog appears immediately upon pressing Ctrl+P.
  Here is the output of Papers when running it from a terminal:
  ```
  gpothier@tadzim5:~ $ papers ~/Downloads/Comprobante\ PDF-272.pdf 
  libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

  MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

  (papers:3910388): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:52:23.732:
  GtkPrintOperation::create-custom-widget not supported with portal

  ```
  The Gtk-WARNING line appears upon pressing Ctrl+P. Nothing else appears when the dialog finally opens.
